Connect 9825 with HPIL Tape Drive Message #1 Posted by Karel Kupka on 3 June 2005, 10:03 a.m. I have HP9825B with General I/O Extended I/O module, I have 82169A HP-IL/HP-IB interface and I have HP82161A HP-IL Cassette Drive with all necessary cables. Any idea how to store a program (what HPL commands to use) from the 9825 to the HPIL cassette? (The internal 9825 drive is not working properly). Thanks!

Re: Connect 9825 with HPIL Tape Drive Message #3 Posted by Eric Smith on 3 June 2005, 10:24 p.m., in response to message #1 by Karel Kupka There's not any easy way to do it. The 9825 doesn't know the Filbert (82161A) command set. If the 9825 can talk to devices that use SS/80 commands, there's an outside chance that you might be able to get it to work with a 9114 disk drive. But I think the 9825 only uses the commands of the older HP disk drives (a subset of Amigo protocol, which predated the CS/80 and SS/80 protocols and is not compatible with them). Your best bet is to get an HP-IB drive that was actually supported on the 9825.
